While waiting in case someone else replies....

Firstly, your English is way better than my French, so no need for 
apologies.

Next, so you've re-installed KMM without result, and you've tried 
different data files, so they both appear innocent.  So, what's left? 
There's the possibility of some corruption elsewhere on your system, or, 
perhaps unlikely, the KMM config file - probably 
~/.kde/share/config/kmymoneyrc.  Try renaming that file -don't delete 
it, you may need it again.  Then try again.  This time, though, start it 
from the command line, like 'kmymoney -n', which will start without a 
data file.  Select your data file and see if you get any clues in the 
console output.  Yoy may also get some information bar at the foot of 
the KMM window.
